Catalog Description

Simulation methodology and model building. Modeling with a simulation language. Random number and random variate generation. Basic issues in the design, verification and validation of simulation models. Analysis of simulation output.

Course Objectives

The course aims to teach the basic principles and the methods in developing simulation models. The goal is to teach simulation modeling with a simulation package, ARENA including the design of the simulation experiments and statistical analysis of the input and output data for simulation models.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, a student will be able to
1. Apply the basic concepts in discrete-event simulation modeling including model components, event list and flowchart. [e][B3]
2. Construct simulation models using a simulation package, and conduct simulation experiments on verified models. [b1, e] [B3]
3. Analyze the input and output data for simulation models. [b2][B4]
4. Identify engineering problems by using performance measures of simulation models. [e][B1]
5. Analyze solutions for industrial engineering problems and compare design alternatives by using simulation techniques. [e, b2][B4]
